Bursa international gastronomy events

Overview

The Bursa Metropolitan Municipality is organizing the 5th International Gastronomy Festival, scheduled for September 18 to 20 at Merinos Park. Themed ‘Conquering Flavors’ to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the conquest of Bursa, the event aims to promote culinary tourism and preserve the city’s cultural heritage.

Building on the academic foundation laid by the Bursa Experiential Gastronomy Congress (EGCON) in late August 2026, the festival will feature 165 stands. These include local producers, women’s cooperatives, and participants from 12 sister cities across 10 countries, such as Nicosia, Mogilev, Pleven, Sarajevo, Ningbo, and Kazan.

The festival grounds will be organized into themed areas: Green Street and White Street will focus on geographically indicated products, while Red Street will showcase national flavors. The program includes approximately 20 gastro-talks and cooking demonstrations featuring renowned chefs Arda Türkmen and Danilo Zanna.

Featured culinary specialties include Bursa döner kebab, İnegöl meatballs, tahinli pide, and chestnut confectionery, reflecting a diverse history that blends traditions from Central Asia, Anatolia, the Balkans, and the Caucasus.
